`Its unfortunate that BuddyPress was set up this way`
I agree. We’re working toward a solution that will allow for both sitewide forums and group-specific forums. This solution has been delayed by the impending release of bbPress 2.0 and the long BP 1.5 dev cycle. Now that both of these milestones have passed, we will be able to work toward a more flexible forum solution. You can follow that development on tickets like https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3598
The problem with this code is that it hooks to ‘wp’ instead of ‘bp_setup_nav’. Use
`add_action( ‘bp_setup_nav’, ‘CubePoints_List_Menu’ );`
No need to bump more than once a day. We are all volunteers!
– Dashboard > Pages > the name of the post you want to edit.
– Find and click the “Screen Options” button. Make sure the “Discussion” box is checked.
– A “Discussion” box should appear. Uncheck “Allow comments”. Update the post.
@andrewteg, thanks but no dice. I only have the bp-custom.php file in there. nothing in functions.php about it. but still no change. i viewed the groups when logged out, and when logged in and the Home tab is still the default.
please advise. thanks.
Bump
It would be nice to get a response please.
Wow, just discovered this theme and it looks GREAT! Definitely something I’ll be checking out once it’s in the repository. Are you releasing it for free? What about commercial projects, will you consider a paid version with support and updates so that it’s attractive as a long term solution for BuddyPress projects?
I have done a lot of searching and have tried all sorts of things to no avail.
I would like to add a nav item/tab to the member profile page that displays the All Groups loop (example: http://buddypress.org/community/groups/). I can get the tab to appear, but it redirects back to the home page. My code is below. Can anyone help?
bp_core_new_nav_item(
array(
'name' => __('All Conversations Button', 'buddypress'),
'slug' => 'all-conversations',
'position' => 75,
'show_for_displayed_user' => true,
'screen_function' => 'all_conversations_link',
'default_subnav_slug' => 'testing',
'item_css_id' => 'all-conversations'
));
function all_conversations_link () {
echo 'my loop will go here';
}
add_action( 'bp_setup_nav', 'bp_core_new_nav_item' );
Thanks!
.I’m Manoj Kumar. I know that buddypress had been updated to 1.5, but i think the previous version is 1.3. so, Do you guys have the zipfile of buddypress 1.3 version.Can you guys please help me by sending me buddypress 1.3 version file to my mail id. i’m really in need of it. here is my mail id manureloaded@hotmail.com
@nicholmikey – Did you figure this out? I am having the same issue.
You’ll have to provide more details. Child themes work in all my tests, and in all the tests that have been run by those participating in development on Trac.
For instance, this minimal child theme works as expected:
`/*
Theme Name: BP Child
Tags: buddypress
Template: bp-default
*/
body {
font-size: 30pt;
}`
That’s the content of wp-content/themes/style.css.
I’m also not exactly sure what you mean by the last part, about the template pack. The plugin itself really doesn’t contain much “theme” at all. It copies templates, and loads javascript, directly from bp-default.
@Manu-PB for correct result you mast add in code symbol ‘&’
For exaple: if you edit file In the file Themes / Your_Theme / Members / members-loop.php near the begin of it:
to this:
if ( bp_has_members( bp_ajax_querystring( ‘members’ ).’&per_page=XX’ ) ) : ?>
where XX – is number
tested on my own BP – it work
Group forums are separated by groups. Group forums require users to be part of the group in order to use the forum. This method can be good if you want to restrict usage of specific forums to specific groups of people.
Site wide forums is one centralised forum where users do not have to be part of a group in order to use it. This method is more like a regular forum.
When installing buddypress you can enable the forum component (doing so will give you the built in function for installing bbpress in either form), and later remove it in order to use site wide forums with the /forums slug.
Once its installed, delete the page “forums”, ensure its removed from the page trash.
Go to Buddypress > Components, and uncheck “Discussion Forums” and click save in order to disable to buddypress (group) forum component.
Double check that bbpress is using “forums” as the Forums base.
Go to permalinks and save to update.
Navigate to /forums on your site and you should be able to see the site wide forums. You will have to manually add forums to the main menu.

Its unfortunate that BuddyPress was set up this way, I can see users wanting to have site wide forums more so than group forums, and will want them to be on the slug /forums. A better way would have been for them to use /group-forums or /user-forums for group forums, and /forums for site wide forums. Lets hope an update will rectify this.
Hi, I installed buddypress 1.2 everything is going fine but I dont want users to reply to a comment. For example if there is any activity by certain users I want my users to post a comment on that activity but not on the comment that is posted for the related activity. I don’t know if you guys understand this or not; sorry for being dumb.
I just updated to it. So what you are telling me is that I should go into notepad, create these files with the proper coding and then add them to the root of my theme?
I think we are all suffering from the change of version even the buddypress website.
Buddypress 1.5 new patch is a nightmare. I cannot see my activity, members or groups. I feel so low. I think we might need to revert to the previous version. I cannot access even my dashboard. They changed the colour of the header to lighter blue after many people might have customised the rest of the pages to match. What they should have done is put in another section for lighter blue so that you have the choice to change it. It is very stressful after putting in a lot of work and hours. They really need to investigate Buddypress thoroughly before releasing the patch
We all develop locally, so it’s nothing to do with that. WAMP is also a fairly common environment, I was just trying to discount possible problems with IIS or less common server configurations.
It could be a memory issue. What messages do you get in your web server’s error log (for the 500)? I’m wondering if, because Template Pack appears to have crashed, the BuddyPress installer never finished properly(??).
Which theme were you using? Was it BP-Default 1.5? If it was, that’s a bug.
@Paul Gibbs
Thanks for your answer!
1) I did complete the install Wizard ( the one consisting of 6 steps, right? ).
2) I am on my own machine running Wamp ( Windows + AMP ). My site has a URL in a form http://localhost/wordpress in a web browser.
As for permalinks, I’m not quite sure what you mean. When I was asked for permalinks in the install Wizard, I checked “Year and month” option: year/month/sample-post. In the permalinks section of the Settings in the Dashboard I checked “Year and month” as well.
So what do you think? Maybe the fact I’m running BuddyPress locally causes such results?
Sorry I failed to specify. The new default theme for BuddyPress supports featured images, but I can’t get them working.
The component for activity stream wasn’t activated. It works fine now. Thanks
Thanks Ray, I’ve already started the modifications. Actually, I’ve switched to the default (new) Bp theme and none of the problems seem to occur; I suppose is just another day of editing the template’s file and after that it will all be fine again.
Again, the new-default theme is working fine.
Cheers!
Also: which theme are you using?
